IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed on pages 8 to 11 may
result in fire, serious injury and/or DEATH.
The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Installation Precations
1. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can
be caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is
recommended. Wear restrictive hair covering to
contain long hair.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-
duty leather work gloves during installation.
3. Before installation confirm that area is clear of
fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wires, gas tanks
or any other component which could be damaged
during drilling.
4. Mounting location and hardware must support
winch and load.
5. Use supplied power cords and wire rope listed in
manual only. Do not use thinner/longer cables or
link multiple cables together.
6. Do not route electrical cables near sharp edges
or parts that will move or become hot.
7. Ventilate area well before and while working on
battery. Explosive invisible hydrogen gas can
accumulate and then explode when ignited by a
spark from the battery connection.
8. Only connect to a clean, corrosion free battery.
9. Do not lean over or come in contact with battery
while making connections.
10. Remove all metal jewelry before working near
battery.
11. Connect red wire to positive battery terminal and
black wire to negative battery terminal.
12. Insulate all exposed wiring and terminals after
installation.
13. Insulate winch and fairlead in underwind
orientation, so that the wire rope enters and exits
the winch at the bottom of the drum.

9/ 20
Operation Precautions
1. Do not exceed load capacity. Be aware of
dynamic loading! Sudden load movement may
briefly create excess load causing product failure.
2. Do not maintain power to the winch if the
motor stalls. Verify load is within rated capacity
for the wire rope layer, see Winch Specifications
on page 2.
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Use double line rigging whenever possible, see
Double Line Rigging on page 11.
3. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-
duty leather work gloves during operation.
4. Do not disengage clutch under load.
Engage clutch before starting.
5. Keep clear of fairlead when operating,
Do not try to guide wire rope.
6. Do not place finger(s) through hook. Fingers
may be caught and get pulled into fairlead or
drum.
Use included strap to hold hook instead.
7. Place heavy rag or carpet over wire rope span 6
feet from hook to help absorb the force released if
the wire rope breaks. (See Figure A.)
Figure A: Whiplash Dampening Blanket or Rug
8. Stay out of the direct line that the wire rope is
pulling. In case it slips or breaks, it will “whiplash”
along this line.
9. Do not use for lifting or moving people.
10. Use a spotter to assist you in assuring that it is
safe to operate the winch. Make sure the spotter
is out of the way of the vehicle and the wire rope
before activating the winch.
11. Do not use the hand crank, if equipped, to “assist”
the winch.
12. Do not use vehicle to pull on the Wire Rope and
“assist”the winch.
13. Use as intended only. Do not lift items vertically
or use for aircraft purposes.
14. Prevent entanglement. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry, as they can be caught in
moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended.
Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
15. Disconnect Pendant Controller before working
near the Wire Rope, drum, fairlead or load, to
prevent accidental starting.
16. Inspect before every use; do not use if damaged
or parts loose. Examine the winch for structural
cracks, bends, damage, frayed or kinked wire
rope, and any other conditions that may affect the
safe operation of the winch. Do not use the winch
even if minor damage appears. A kink
permanently weakens the wire rope, even after it
is straightened out; kinked wire rope can fail
suddenly and must not be used.
17. Keep wire rope straight to avoid kinking the wire
rope. The illustrations to the right show how a
kink forms.
a. This illustration shows a
kink about to form. At this
point the winch should be
stopped and the wire rope
should be straightened
out to prevent kinking.
b. This wire rope is
kinked. It is too
late to reverse
the damage at
this point, the
wire rope must be discarded. It is
permanently damaged and must not be used.
c. This is a kinked wire rope that has been
straightened out. Even though it has been
pulled straight, some wires in the wire rope
are stretched, and others are severely bent,
if not broken. The unstretched wires will take
more load and can fail suddenly before the
rope reaches its capacity. This wire rope
must be discarded and not be used.
A kink permanently weakens the wire rope, even
after it is straightened out; kinked wire rope can
fail suddenly and must not be used.
18. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating. Distractions can cause you to control.

10 / 20
19. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating. Do not use a
winch while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating winches may result in
serious personal injury.
20. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the winch in unexpected situations.
21. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow
strap or chain. Do not wrap the wire rope around
the object and hook onto the wire rope itself. This
can cause damage to the object being pulled, and
kink or fray the wire rope.
22. Do not use a Recovery Strap while winching.
They are designed to stretch and can suddenly
whip back towards the operator during a winching
operation.
23. Secure load after moving.
NO LOCKING MECHANISM.
24. Keep at least 5 full turns of wire rope on drum.
The wire rope’s connection to the drum is not
intended to sustain a load, without the added
support from the friction of at least 5 full turns of
wire rope.
25. Wrap wire rope under 500 lb. tension before use.
Otherwise, wire rope may bind during operation.
26. Keep clear of wire rope, hook, and load while
winching. Do not step over wire rope.
Do not push sideways against wire rope
under tension; wire rope might break under
this load and recoil back, striking the person
pushing against it or a bystander.
27. If wire rope begins to get entangled, stop winch
immediately and release wire rope using switch.
28. Do not submerge winch in water.
If winch gets submerged accidentally, it needs to
be immediately disassembled, cleaned, dried and
re-lubricated by a qualified technician to prevent
permanent damage from corrosion.
29. Only winch with the winching vehicle’s
transmission in neutral. Winching with a vehicle’s
transmission in gear or park may damage the
transmission. A vehicle’s transmission is not
designed to handle that type of load.
30. Do not operate the winch at extreme angles.
Do not exceed the angles shown in Figure B for a
roller fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle
should be as close to straight as possible.
Figure B: Roller fairlead Maximum Winching Angles
31. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at an
angle in relation to the winch, use a pulley (sold
separately) and an anchor point directly in front of
the winch, as shown in Figure C, to keep the Wire
Rope pull straight.
32. Broken strands of wire rope will be sharp.
Wear heavy-duty work gloves when handling the
wire rope. Do not slide wire rope through hands,
even with gloves on.
33. Winch motor will be hot during and after use.
Keep clear.
34. Do not power the hook all way into the fairlead or
winch.
35. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

Service Precautions
1. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-
duty leather work during service.
2. Disconnect power to winch and allow it to cool
completely before service.
3. Use supplied power cords/wire rope or cables
listed in manual only. Do not use thinner/longer
cables or link multiple cables together.
4. Have the winch serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the winch is
maintained.
5. Maintain labels and nameplates on the winch.
These carry important safety information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight
Tools for a replacement.
6. WARNING: Handing the cord on this product will
expose you to lead, a chemical cause cancer,
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handing.

Wiring
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION
DUE TO SPARKING AT THE BATTERY CONNECTION:
Unplug the Pendant Connector and disconnect the Battery Cables
before making other wiring connections.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM LEAKING BATTERY ACID:
Do not use a dirty, corroded or leaking battery.
Only use a 12V automotive (or equivalent) battery, in good condition.
1. Plan a route for the wiring from the point of the
vehicle where the winch will be mounted, or used,
to the battery. This route must be secure, out of
the way of moving parts, road debris, or any
possibility of being damaged by operation or
maintenance of the vehicle. For example, you
may wish to route the wires under the vehicle,
attaching it to the frame using suitable fasteners.
Do not attach the wires to the exhaust system,
drive shaft, emergency brake cable, fuel line, or
any other components which may create damage
the wiring through heat or motion, or create a fire
hazard.
2. If you drill through the bumper or any part of the
body to route the wires, be sure to install a rubber
grommet in the hole to prevent fraying of the
wires at the point.
3. Route the Cables from the Solenoid to the battery
and from the Solenoid to the Winch, following the
precautions discussed above. See Figure E.
Figure E: Wiring Connections
4. Attach the Red, Black and Yellow Cables to the
terminals on the Winch. The Winch terminals are
color-coded.
5. Attach the Circuit Breaker to the Positive
Terminal on the battery.
6. Attach the red Battery Cable to the Circuit
Breaker.
7. Attach the black Battery Cable directly to the
negative terminal of the battery.
8. Lift the Socket Cover exposing the electrical
switch connector. Insert the Pendant connector
into the Socket.
Note: The attachment of the Motor Cables determines
the direction of the Pendant Controller’s button. After
the unit is mounted and powered, check the direction
of the Power In and Power Out on the Pendant
Controller button. If you wish to change the direction
on the Pendant Controller, disconnect the Battery
Cables from the battery, switch the Motor Cable
connections on the Motor Assembly, then reconnect
the Battery Cables.
9. Disconnect the Pendant Controller when not in
use
Preparing the Wire Rope
1. The wire rope must be properly coiled under
tension to be able to support a load without
damage.
2. Uncoil the wire rope, except for 5 full wraps.
3. Recoil the wire rope back into the winch under at
least 500lb. of tension.

Operation
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use this product.
The instructions that follow are basic guidelines only and cannot cover all situations
encountered during use. The operator and assistants must carefully plan usage to prevent
accidents.
1. Examine the wire rope. Do not use the winch if
the wire rope is frayed, kinked or damaged.
2. Fully charge the vehicle’s battery.
3. Check the Winch’s electrical connections. All
connections must be tight and clean.
4. Put the vehicle’s transmission in Neutral.
5. If the vehicle where the winch is mounted is not
supposed to be moved, engage the emergency
brake and block the wheels using wheel chocks
(sold separately).
6. To pull out the wire rope, move the Clutch Handle
to the Released position, shown in Figure F, slide
the loop of the Hook Strap over the hook, then
pull on the Hook Strap to pull out the wire rope.
WARNING! Leave at least five full turns of
wire rope on the drum.
Figure F: Clutch released
7. Hook onto the object using a pulling point, tow
strap, tree strap, or chain. See Figure G.
Figure G: Using a strap anchor point
Do not wrap the wire rope around the
object and hook onto the wire rope
itself.
This can damage the object being
pulled, and kink or fray the wire rope.
8. Attachment point must be centered in loop of
hook and the hook’s safety clasp must be fully
closed. See Figure H.
Figure H: Correct and incorrect hook attachment
9. Do not use a Recovery Strap while winching.
They are designed to stretch and can suddenly
whip back towards the operator during a winching
operation

15 / 20
10. Place a heavy rag or carpet (sold separately)
over the wire rope span, 6 feet from the hook to
help absorb the force released if the wire rope
breaks.
Figure A: Whiplash Dampening Blanket or Rug
11. Re-engage the clutch by moving the Clutch
Handle to the Engaged position, shown in Figure
I.
Figure I: Clutch Engaged
WARNING! Do not allow anyone to stand near the
wire rope, or in line with the wire rope behind the
winch while it is under power. If the wire rope should
slip or break, it can suddenly whip back towards the
winch, causing a hazard for anyone in the area. Stand
well to the side while winching.
12. Attach the Pendant Controller to the Socket on
the Solenoid Assembly, See Figure K.
Figure K: Pendant connection
Double Line Rigging
a. A double line system should be used
whenever possible. It reduces the load on the
winch, allowing it to work longer with less heat
buildup. It reduces load on the winch in two
ways:
It utilizes the lower layers of wire rope that
have higher capacity, and
It halves the load on the winch through
pulley action.
b. Connect the wire rope for a double line
system as shown in Figure J below. Use a
pulley block (sold separately) properly rated
for the load to be pulled and designed to be
operated with this winch’s wire rope
Figure J: Double Line step
c. Loop the wire rope around the pulley and
connect to another part of the vehicle’s
chassis or to a separate anchor point. Do not
anchor the Wire Rope back to the winch or
winch mount.
Note: If anchoring the winching vehicle, only
attach the anchor line to the front of the vehicle.
If the anchor line is attched to the rear of the
vehicle, the vehicle’s frame may be damaged by
the forces exerted by winching.

13. Operate the Pendant controls briefly to ensure
they work properly, see Figure L. If operation is
reversed, the power cables may be connected
backwards, Correct any such issue before use.
Figure L: Pendant controls
14. When it is safe to do so, use the power switch on
the Pendant Controller to retract the wire rope,
and winch the item as desired. Do not power the
hook all the way into the fairlead to prevent
damage.
15. Do not operate the winch at extreme angles. Do
not exceed the angles shown in Figure B for a
roller fairlead. For a hawse fairlead, the angle
should be as close to straight as possible.

Angles
16. If the object to be pulled must be pulled at an
angle in relation to the winch, use a pulley (sold
separately) and an anchor point directly in front of
the winch, as shown in Figure C, to keep the Wire
Rope pull straight.
17. WARNING! Stop the winch and release tension
on the wire rope before moving the rag or carpet
placed on it.
18. Do not continue use of the winch until the battery
is completely run down.
19. You may wish to keep the engine running while
using this winch, to continually recharge the
battery. However, exercise extreme caution when
working around a running vehicle and ONLY
operate a vehicle in an outdoor area.
CAUTION: Do not use the winch in a constant duty
application, it is designed for INTERMITTENT USE
ONLY. Keep the duration of the pulling job as
short as possible. If the motor becomes very hot
to the touch, stop and let it cool down for several
minutes. Do not pull for more than one minute at
or near the rated load. Do not maintain power to
the Winch if the motor stalls. Double Line Rigging
will help prevent overloading and should be used
whenever practical, see Double Line Rigging in
page 11.
20. When finished pulling the load, reverse the
direction of the winch just enough to release
tension on the Wire Rope so that you can
unfasten the Hook from the load and reel in the
Wire Rope.
21. Remote control instructions
For easy use, two winch control functions both with
wire-drive and remote are in this handle controller.
Please read the instructions before using the product.
The handle controller has two functions, drive-by-wire
control and remote control. When the plugs of the two
ends of the cable contacts with the winch and with the
handle controller respectively, the green indicting light
will be on, which indicates that the winch is controlled
by drive-by-wire and the remote control function is off
automatically. When the button “OUT”is pressed,
wire rope will come out of the winch. When “IN”is
pressed, wire rope will be pulled back into the winch.
When the cable is separated from the controller and
the power switch is pressed for about 3 seconds, the
red indicating light will be on, which indicates that the
winch is controlled with remote. When the button
“OUT”is pressed, wire rope will come out of the winch.
When “IN”is pressed, wire rope will be pulled back
into the winch. When the power switch is pressed
later for about 3 seconds, the red indicating light will

be off and the handle controller will be off. If there is
no operation for 3 minutes with the model of remote
control, the handle controller will be off automatically,
which will save power.

Duty Cycle (Duration of Use)
Avoid damage to the Winch by not winching for more
than the prescribed duty cycle time.The Duty Cycle defines
the amount of time , winthin a 15 minute period, during winch
a Winch can operate at its maximum capacity without
overhearting. For example, this Winch with 5% duty cycle at
its maximum load must be allowed to rest for at least 14
minutes, 15 seconds after every 45 seconds of continuous
operation. Failure to carefully observe duty cycle limitations
can easily over-stress a Winch contributing to premature
Winch failure.
Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual
must be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Unplug the Pendant connector and disconnect the Battery Cables before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM WINCH FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected
before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the winch. Check for loose hardware,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked
or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring,
corroded or loose terminals, and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation.
Examine the wire rope. Do not use the winch if the
wire rope is feayed, kinked or damaged.
2. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces of the winch
with clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the wire rope occasionally with a light oil.
4. The winch’s internal mechanism is permanently
lubricated. Do not open the housing. However, if
the winch is submerged, its should be opened,
dried, and re-lubriacted by a qualified technician
as soon as possible to preevent corrosion.
Wire Rope Replacement
1. Move Clutch Handle to the Released position.
2. Extend the Wire Rope to its full length, noting
how the existing Wire Rope is connected to the
inside of the drum.
3. Remove old Wire Rope and attach new assembly.
4. CAUTION: Do not replace with inferior Wire Rope
Only use a wire rope rated to the same rating
cited on the specification chart or better.
5. Retract Wire Rope onto Wire Rope drum being
carefully not to allow kinking. Refer to instructions
for tensioning te wire rope under “Preparing the
Wire Rope in page 9.
6. Test Electric Winch for proper operation.
